[translation] When looking at the appearance of a person, the appearance is judged by a seven-foot body, and the face is judged by two eyes.The chest, abdomen, hands, and feet of a person correspond to the five elements—that is, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They all have certain attributes and characteristics; Mouth and nose are all connected with the four qi—that is, the qi of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and they also have certain attributes and characteristics of them.If the various parts of the human body correspond to and match each other, and are symmetrical and coordinated with each other, they will bring blessings to people. If they deviate from each other or crowd each other, making the appearance appear messy and fragmented, their fate is not worth mentioning.

[translation] The most valuable aspect of a person's appearance lies in "integration". This "integration" does not mean uniformity, but that all parts of a person's entire body should be balanced and well-proportioned so that they form an organic and perfect whole. As the saying goes, a person can be short, but not as short as a squatting pig; he can be tall, but he must not stand up like a lonely thatched tree.In terms of body shape, you can be fat, but you can't be fat like a gluttonous bear; you can be thin, but you can't be as thin as a jackdaw.These are the "whole" mentioned in this section.Looking at the various parts of the body, the back should be round and thick, the abdomen should be protruding and flat, the hands should be warm and soft, and the palms should be curved like a bow.The instep should be thick and full, and the sole of the foot should be empty. It is better if it is empty enough to hide eggs. This is also the so-called "whole".Although the five-short body seems to be insignificant, most of them are of high status, and the legs that are too long often have bad luck.If a person walks as if carrying a heavy load, then this person must have the luck of a high-ranking official. If the person walks like a mouse with small and rapid steps, and his eyes are looking left and right with flickering eyes, he must be greedy for money.These are fixed patterns, tried and tested.There are other patterns: if the hands are longer than the upper body (preferably longer than the knees), the upper body is longer than the lower body, and there is a pair of good bones, then there must be a prince.Another example is the delicate and soft skin, as if the whole body is covered with silk.The chest bones are hidden but not visible, Wenxiu is unique, and if he has a wonderful demeanor, he must have great ambitions in the future.

[translation] The appearance of a person can be divided into delicate, simple, majestic, and elegant.These four types of facial features are mainly distinguished by family name stars and Yin Zhi lines. Family names can be seen at any time from the age of 13 to 39, and Yin Zhi lines can be seen at the age of 19 to 46. The time can also be seen at any time.If you have both the Yin Zhi pattern and the family name star, you will become a person in the future, and if you can get one of them, you will also be rich.Family name star appears between Yintang and eyebrow color, sometimes it appears, sometimes it is hidden, sometimes its shape is like a steel needle, sometimes it is like a small ball, it is a kind of red light and purple gas.It is easy to see after drinking and when you are angry. Yin Zhi lines appear at the corners of the eyes, and you can see them on cloudy or rainy days, like a three-pronged fork.It is easiest to see when a person is about to fall asleep.Those with family names and stars will flourish in their youth, and those with Yinzhi lines will make their fortunes later.If you don't have both, don't ask about your future.In addition, if Yinzhi lines appear on the throat, the owner is happy to have a son.If the Yinzhi lines appear in other parts, it cannot be judged in this way, that is, it is not necessarily possible to have a precious child.

[translation] The eyes of a person are like two pools of water on the face. If the expression is not deep and reserved, the face will not be clear and bright.The nose is like a mountain supporting the face. If the bridge of the nose is not straight and straight, and the head is not plump, the face will not be clever and intelligent.The mouth is wide and square, the owner has the blessing of a thousand bells, the teeth are small and round, suitable for developing careers in other places.The person with long eyes and inserted into the sideburns must be in charge of the judicial power. The bald and bald head makes the head connected to the denomination. There is no limit and can control the financial power.Those who stutter have no official luck.People whose facial skin is as rough as orange peel will not develop well.If a literati has a wound in his left eye, then the literary star will fall and do nothing.A person with a nose like an eagle's beak must be sinister and vicious in his heart, and love to hurt others. (The latter) these are signs of poverty.
